Two strangers Dr. Raja (Rajiv Kanakala) meet Ravi Varma (Allari Naresh) on a train. Raja is frustrated with his drunkard father (Kota Srinivasa Rao) and tells his problems to Ravi. Few days later, his father injures in an accident and brought to Raja's hospital. Later he dies of poisoning and the blame is put on the doctor. In fact, it is Ravi Varma who designs the death. He insists Raja to kill his wife in exchange of murdering his father. And the game is set for twist in the climax.

Analysis :

Rajiv Kanakala, a proven actor with varied roles, does good job but it is Allari Naresh who gets the maximum mileage from the show. He is at his best in the role of a jealous husband and psychopath. Preeti Jhangyani is okay. Sindu Tolani has no big role but she brings glamour by indulging in blink and miss kiss scene. The actors have done adequate job. The film has flawed screenplay and has not handled with skill. The same goes for a comedy track. One wonders what contribution Chandrasekhar Yeleti and Rajamouli provided to this film.

TeluguOne Perspective :

There has been much hype about the film being a super thriller. But no whodunit stands a chance once the audience knows the culprit. Visakha Express too suffers from the same technical snag. It is rather disappointing to watch Mullapudi Vara’s version of Strangers on a Train. Looks like he has tried to cash in on the success of thrillers recently. The music too does not help the film. Chandrasekhar Yeleti’s screenplay too fails to salvage it. As for the main cast, it is three cheers to both Allari Naresh, who plays the part of the psychotic husband and Rajeev Kanakala, who plays the ‘doctor-in-trouble’. They are both really good and play their parts well. Naresh has done similar roles earlier, but he is still as good as ever. Rajeev Kanakala too takes himself one level up with his performance. Both Preeti Jhingiani and Sindu Tolani have bit roles and mostly take care of the glamour quotient. All in all, Visakha Express is a let down. But it merits one look, just for the lead pair, in case you are addicted to thrillers.
